SR&R - Students Rights and Responsibilities
FCPS’ Student Rights and Responsibilities document (SR&R) explains expectations for student behavior and adult responses to enhance school safety and to create a fair, equitable, and supportive school environment. In late June, the School Board approved changes to the SR&R for the 2023-24 school year. Updates include a revision of dress code expectations, bystander expectations for students witnessing harmful or unsafe behaviors, bullying, and substance abuse responses. Read Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid’s letter to families regarding the SR&R.
Parents/caregivers should talk to their child(ren) about expectations for this school year. Also, please log in to SIS ParentVUE and sign to acknowledge your review of the SR&R, or sign and return the signature sheet to your child’s school by Friday, September 29.
2023 Derechos y Responsabilidades de los EstudiantesEl folleto de Derechos y Responsabilidades del Estudiante (SR&R) de FCPS explica las expectativas para el comportamiento del estudiante y las respuestas de los adultos para mejorar la seguridad escolar y crear un ambiente escolar justo, equitativo y de apoyo. A fines de Junio, la Junta Escolar aprobó cambios al SR&R para el año escolar 2023-24. Las actualizaciones incluyen una revisión del código de vestimenta. Las actualizaciones incluyen una revisión de las expectativas del código de vestimenta, las expectativas del espectador para los estudiantes que presencian comportamientos dañinos o inseguros, la intimidación y las respuestas al abuso de sustancias.
